Small Update: I've been increasing activity to see how my calf/leg responds. Certain things provoke it, some things don't, and other things I'm not sure about yet. Regardless I'm still moving forward trying to do more each week in a controlled manner. Official sessions to prepare for Dec 7th start September 24th, so I have until then to push as hard as I safely can and see how it goes. As it so happens I'm out of state most of that week so I'm going to have to work on my own as best I can and then jump in when I get back.

Yesterday I went and walked the stairs that go up the size of an earthen dam. I kept the times I went up and down to 10 just to see how everything went. My leg was pissed that evening but recovered nicely for this mornings workout. I had drop-dead legs this morning until I finished my warmup. Assuming things continue well I'll go do stairs about every other day. When I'm stepping I put the whole foot on the step and drive through the heel to minimize calf involvement. Going down of course there is calf work.

If you can do 20 minutes on heavy bag in 2 minutes round, than you will be able to burn 215 - 230 calories and it also condition your arms, chest as well. You don't need to hit the bag with intensity every time. You can just hit with jabs and crosses, followed by a hook with power, this workout will definitely help you get in shape before December.

Thanks, I'll look at that. The main issue is that too much activity provokes my leg thing, so I have to increase from week to week at a certain pace. At times I get it wrong and I have a setback. Too many of those and I won't be ready.
